I used to like a little wine at night, but not now. Medicine and wine do not mix. This is really a nice vineyard.
ReplyDeleteNo, medicine and wine do not mix!
DeleteIf you had wine as medicine [imbibe responsibly LV].
And the Yarra Valley can be very medicinal.
You're bringing up something new for me - vineyards in Australia! And I love the sound of the name Yarra. Many thanks for showing the sparkling wine (and cheese and crackers, haha). Your sharing for SEASONS is much appreciated! Have a great week and "see" you the next one:)

DeleteGlad you had a wonderful time looking at Nick's pic.
Now that does look like a lovely spot to sit and sip.
ReplyDeleteIt does, @CountryMouse.
DeleteI don't think I could ever sit long in the Yarra Valley though.
Having sat 90 minutes at least to get there, the first thing I would want to do is *stretch. my. LEGS*!
Those three chairs do look good, though. And there are picnic tables.

ReplyDeleteSo tempted to guess everything in these illustrations.
Chandon, of course, is very familiar.
Had at least one contemporary who was from the Upper Yarra area.
Lovely photos today. Have a great week. I recently found a wonderful peach wine made in Italy. I think it is my new favorite. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous spot for a winery. Such pretty photos. Just to sit there in those green stairs and sip on my wine would be heaven.
ReplyDelete"Vine-grazing" is such a quaint term. I haven't heard that before. Great photos of our wonderful State as always Nick.
